Behavioral Research Methods
Tanya L. Chartrand
Description from DukeHub
This course is designed as a practical introduction to conducting behavioral research, with a special emphasis on experiments. In the class, we introduce the PhD students to (i) the research designs and approaches behavioral researchers utilize most frequently in their careers, (ii) explore how to collect data, (iii) work through the analyses that most modern experimental researchers will need to be fluent with, and (iv) examine best practices in reviewing and writing papers. The intent of the course is to get behavioral researchers up and running as quickly as possible in their graduate careers.

The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
